Patent number: 11904164Abstract: Described herein are apparatuses (e.g., systems and devices) and methods of delivering nanosecond pulsed electrical fields (nsPEF). In particular, these apparatuses and methods may provide enhanced safety and robust operation over even very short (e.g., nanosecond and sub-nanosecond pulses) and high voltage pulsing; these benefits may be accomplished by multi-functional isolation of various subsystems and components of the apparatus, even including the low-voltage, control and command portions of the apparatus with extremely low capacitance, high voltage isolation.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2020Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Pulse Biosciences, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth R. Krieg, Gregory P. Schaadt, Chaofeng Huang
